qt: replace BlockingWaitingDialog with RunCoroutineDialog

RunCoroutineDialog has a run() method that blocks the thread
without blocking the GUI (using exec), and a Cancel button
that cancels the coroutine.

main_window.run_coroutine_dialog() is a wrapper that returns
the coroutine result and may raise exceptions.

BlockingWaitingDialog was removed is transaction_dialog,
where it was not particularly useful.
